Nobumi,

I think that this should help:

	• Choose Mail > Preferences and click Rules.

	• Click Add Rule and type a descriptive name for the rule.

	• Set the conditions necessary for the rule to apply to a message.

	• From the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, choose “Reply to Message.”

	• Click “Reply message text” and enter "During the month of February I will be travelling and will have limited email access. I apologize for any inconvenience."

	Mail will include the text you enter, along with the full text of the original message, in the message that it sends.

Do I have to ask my server to do this? So says the "help"/ ow do I do this? Is my server "mac.com?. Will it do the message both for Mail and mac.me account?
